Stir-Fried Fresh Aspargus

This is a no soy sauce, no sesame oil recipe. Although I love both of these, I'm on a diet and can't really have these seasonings. This fits the bill!

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  lb  fresh asparagus spear
• 2  cloves garlic, minced
• 2  tablespoons butter, melted (I use Can't Believe It's Not Butter)
• 1⁄2 cup chicken broth
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (I used Morton's Lite salt)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar
• 1  tablespoon  almonds, sliced or 1  tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

1. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Cut asparagus into 1 inch pieces. Set aside.
2. Saute minced garlic in melted butter in a large skillet for 1 minute. Add asparagus pieces, stirring well to combine. Add chicken broth, salt, and sugar, stirring well to combine. Cook over high heat 3-4 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender, stirring frequently.
3. Sprinkle the asparagus with slice almonds or sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
